When speech and language therapy happen in the natural environment, true fundamentals are formed. Intervention is able to build upon and provide support to enhance children's development through everyday learning opportunities. Children learn best through everyday experiences and interactions with familiar people in well-known contexts within their natural environments.

Speech and language therapy service models can vary for each child and family depending on the child’s needs and the family’s priorities. Services may be provided via telecommunication and Internet technology to remotely connect clinicians to clients for screening, assessment, intervention, consultation, and/or education. Telepractice is an appropriate model of service delivery for speech-language pathologists and may be the primary mode of service delivery, as necessary.
